Summary

12 Fox Beer Company

Negro Sombrero

Vienna-Style Lager | 5.3% ABV | 23 IBU
Offered By: WESTEXANS
Club/Brewer Notes:
A copper color lager with a soft, elegant maltiness that dries out in the finish. It has a light flavor and an aroma of toast.

88

MKE

MVP

Hazy IPA | 5.5% ABV | 60 IBU
Offered By: CHEETO
Club/Brewer Notes:
Five different hops are used to create a well-balanced IPA which focuses on the hipster's hops, Citra and Mosaic. The late addition of these hops gives the IPA a juicy citrus aroma while the light body leaves a crisp dry taste

86

Potosi

Snake Hollow

American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 6.5% ABV | 65 IBU
Offered By: CHEETO
Club/Brewer Notes:
Once teeming with rattlesnakes, the Potosi valley was known as Snake Hollow. The name lives on in our Midwest IPA. Medium bodied and generously dry-hopped, this beer boasts a bold citrus hop character, notes of grapefruit and a clean bitter finish

88

El Segundo Brewing Company

Steve Austin Broken Skull IPA

American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 6.7% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: FATBOY
Club/Brewer Notes:
A bad-ass 6.7% IPA designed by Steve Austin and ESBC for the working man & woman. It features Citra, Cascade, and Chinook hops to deliver big flavor with an easy finish. Now stop reading and start enjoying this awesome beer! Cheers! - Steve

89

Saint Arnold Brewing Company

Juicy IPA

American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 7.1% ABV | 44 IBU
Offered By: SANTA
Club/Brewer Notes:
An IPA bursting with hop flavor and aroma. It has a soft bitterness followed by a refreshing juicy sweetness that doesn’t end cloying. Add the tropical aroma, and it’s a beer you’ll keep coming back to.

AleSmith Brewing Company

Anvil for Hope

American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 7.5% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: SANTA

12 Fox Beer Company

Galaxy Fox

SMASH IPA | 7.8% ABV | 6.4 IBU
Offered By: WESTEXANS
Club/Brewer Notes:
In this single hop IPA, we used galaxy hops to give it a citrus, peach, and passion fruit flavoring and aroma. A medium bodied, soft aggressive bitter beer, that contains a light sweet malt flavor from the use of pale malt. The hops dominate the flavor and aroma profile.

91

Abnormal Beer Company

Distance Learning

Double Hazy India Pale Ale | 8.7% ABV | 15 IBU
Offered By: WESTEXANS
Club/Brewer Notes:
Summer is approaching and we want to help you enjoy it! School is almost out and all this new distance learning will soon be over, but what will you do without summer-break beach parties? The solution is in this glorious liquid! This juicy double IPA packs a punch of tropical fruits, citrus, and coconut. Unlike our fruited offerings, this beer gets all that goodness from just hops. Enjoy in your backyard with or without friends, but remember to keep safe if the homies do come to hang. Cheers!

93

Deschutes Brewery

Black Butte XXXII

American-Style Imperial Porter | 13.4% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: PHATMEAT
Club/Brewer Notes:
In celebration of our 32nd anniversary, this year’s imperial porter was aged in Colombian rum barrels, infused with cold brew coffee, and spiced with nutmeg, vanilla bean, and sweet orange peel.
